ROCKLAND — The group of runners was smaller than expected, but then the winter-like weather on the second day of spring was not expected either as 55 runners and walkers gathered in the lightly falling snow for the Lucky Leprechaun 5K road race, part of the Go! Malawi Race Series.

The Lucky Leprechaun is the third in the series of five races. This one was held at Trackside Station on Union Street.

As the race was about to begin, the snow started coming down a little harder and then it snowed steadily throughout the race. But the weather did not slow down the runners as Tyler Lupien of Waldoboro finished with a time of 17:59.2, more than a minute faster than second place finisher Pat O’Donnell of Warren.

The first female to cross the line was Barb Daggett with a time of 22:17.7. James Tolles took first place in the male 70 and over age group with a 19th place finish of 24:46.8.
